Double Nickels Birthday Giveaway!

As a big thank you! to all of you for reading, commenting and making art, and in view of my 55th birthday (April 18, 1956 - yikes), it is just the right time for a giveaway. In fact a double giveaway.

Here's the what ... I an giving away one copy of each

Journal Spilling and Playful Paper Backgrounds (the DVD)

I love you guys, sniff-sniff

Here's the how ... Leave a comment and tell me which you'd like: the book or the DVD. I'll pick two folks: one for each.

I was pretty durned excited the other night to be tagged on Facebook by Jenny Doh of Crescendoh. She reviewed Journal Spilling! Here is the review (and I wouldn't be sharing if it was unfavorable). When I posted this fab bit of news on Facebook, someone commented that she had just returned from teaching her first art journaling class and that Journal Spilling was her inspiration. It doesn't get any better than that. Really. So thank you. Comment away.

I love you guys, sniff-sniff

Edit: I closed comments on April 19. Will pick the winners on the weekend!

hi Diana.....happy birthday!! i would love your book, so i could read it over & over. i am so happy to have found your blog as you have really inspired me to get my paints out & actually use them again! thank you.

Welcome home. I hope you have a wonderful birthday! :) I totally love your book and it has always been one of my favorites. So, since I have it, I'd love the DVD! Keep me posted on future online classes and tutorials!

Hello! Long time reader first time commenter here, I had to delurk for this! :) Its very hard for me to chose as I would love both, I shall say the book as I have heard great things and it has been on my amazon wish list for a long time :)

Happy, happy birthday, Diana! Your DVD would be my choice as I already have your wonderful book. Seriously, without even the slightest hint of hyperbole, it is one of the very best books on journaling on my bookshelf! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

Happy B-Day!! 2 weeks post-op from back surgery & I'm in a rut and need some inspiration. I already have your amazing book and would so enjoy the DVD!!!! Hope you have a yummy cake and a wonderful b-day!Take care :)

Happy Birthday Diana! 55 is a great year! (I just turned 56 :-) ) Now if I win, which would I like, DVD or book? I've been wanting both! I think I learn best by watching, but a book would be great for reference. Thanks for celebrating with us!

Hi Diana, Happy Birthday! I am kind of new to your blog - have been reading along after seeing some of your wonderful videos for the past several months. I just got the "Playful paper backgrounds" and had the book on my wishlist. So the book would be great! I learn a lot from you and thank you for sharing your techniques. Ambal

Happy Birthday Diana! I hope you are well spoilt by all of your friends and family. You deserve it for tall the joy you spread here. I would love to go into the draw for the book. Thanks you for the opportunity.

Happy Birtday to you! April is a good birthday month...i just celebrated mine on the 2nd...( not saying my age..tee hee) anyway wanted to say i own your book and it has been a big inspiration for me and i would so love to work with the DVD... thank you...zinnia patch

So nice chatting with you Birthday Queen!!!! Big hugs from me for your day, and through my hat in the ring for the CD, which I witnessed being made as you recall. You are very impressive in front of the camera, a natural.xoox

Happy birthday! I already have your Journal Spilling book and have been waiting for my ship to come in to order the DVD. It's not that expensive but my life seems to eat everything I've got. So I'd love to win the DVD!

Joyeux anniversaire Diana! How nice to think of offering gifts on your birthday! I would prefer the DVD for myself since I already have your book. It is April, which means I have been journaling for a year. This has been an exciting journey for me. And just recently, I have been asked to give a workshop... I feel honored and a bit terrified all at once! The next journaling year promises to be a new challenge!

Happy Birthday you remarkable woman! I have been feeling ill and depleted for so long, and then came upon your blog, articles, and videos, which have got my creative juices flowing a-new just as I was feeling most in need.I am expecting to go into hospital for an operation in the next few weeks but have bought your Inner Circle on-line course anyway because I can't bear to miss out!I would love your "Journal Spilling" so that I can relish it while I sit back and recover from surgery. A big "Thank you" for being you. x

A very happy birthday! 55 isn't so bad (say I, from the exalted age of 56!!). I maintain age is a state of mind anyway, so don't allow yourself to think about it. The book is already on my (extensive!) wish list, so I would have to choose that if I were lucky enough to win.

Hi Diana,Happy Birthday!- I already have your book and it is so good at getting me (the perfectionist) to let go and be messy! I love messy, and the results are so fun. I would love to explore what you have to offer in your DVD. Take care, Allison O.

Hi Diana, Happy birthday!i found you online because i just got your Journal Spilling book and i wanted to thank you so much for writing it. in a few short days i feel like it's changed my life (really!)! i have always been a crafter, but since recently becoming a mom, i've been searching for a more-artistic way to express myself. but my inner self-critic always got in the way. NOT ANYMORE! i would love the Playful Paper Background book in any form! : ) also, do you teach any in-person classes? i don't think i live that far away.

I pre-ordered this book before it was out and have loved it since the moment I opened it! It's been very inspirational and I've used a lot of the techniques. Thanks, Diana, for such a wonderful book and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday greetings Diana. Recently I asked of Jane Davies if she would advise me some creative media book titles, so I could return-gift a friend. I purchased Journal Spilling as a result of Jane's highest recommendation. My friend loves it; and now here's my chance to love, love, love it too. I'm in it .. to win it :)!
